Xiao Diyuan was slightly shocked and looked at Xiao Hong suddenly.

He found that Xiao Hong's expression was serious.

Could it be that he knew about his secret correspondence with the Empress Dowager of Zhaoguo and Jiang Yuetang? Xiao Diyuan couldn't help but say in his heart, and his expression immediately became cautious.

However, his actions were very secretive, and it stands to reason that Xiao Hong's people would not be so easy to know, but for the sake of prudence, Xiao Diyuan still carefully observed him for a while, and found that he didn't look like he knew this secret, so he said softly: "The weather in the first month and February is still cold, and it is the snowmelt period, my father's leg joints are not very good, and traveling during this time period may not be good for your health." ”

When he said this, Xiao Diyuan looked at Xiao Hong with a smile on his face, looking like he cared for him from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Hong looked at him and smiled calmly, and said, "Since March, we have to talk about the 'Ninety-Five Competition', and it will be even more inappropriate to go out at that time." ”

"But your leg disease can't be ignored, although you can try to pay attention to people all the way, but after all, it's not as good as being in the palace. Xiao Diyuan said again.

Xiao Hong's face was slightly cold, and he asked lightly, "You don't want to accompany me?"

"Of course not, going out to inspect the people's situation is what Erchen should do, Erchen is just worried about your body. Xiao Diyuan said in a gentle tone as much as possible.

Xiao Hong's heart built a cautious wall, his pride made him not want to listen to Xiao Diyuan's advice at all, he said in a calm and even generous tone: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I will bring the imperial doctor." ”

The reason was that he couldn't come up with another one for a while, so Xiao Diyuan had no choice but to nod and ask, "When does my father plan to leave?"

"Mid-January. Xiao Hong replied and asked him, "What's the inconvenience on your side?"

"Nope. ”

"Then you explain to your teachers and postpone the lessons you are going to study. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"Your course should be completed by the end of this year, right?" Xiao Hong asked again.

Xiao Diyuan replied: "Except for Mr. Jingwu's, the others will be completed by the end of this year. ”

"Well, that's good, next year you'll have more time to manage the affairs of the fiefdom. ”

"Yes. Xiao Diyuan nodded.

Xiao Hong could see that although Xiao Diyuan tried his best to show a peaceful and docile appearance, there were waves in his heart.

He probably doesn't want to follow him on patrol, right?

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Xiao Hong was faintly dissatisfied and angry. As the second prince of the Dawn Kingdom, what reason did he have for refusing to go with him? Moreover, didn't he always like to deal with the three sects and the nine streams? Why was he not happy this time?

Maybe it comes down to him not wanting to go with him.

Xiao Hong became even more angry when he thought about it like this, but he didn't show it.

Xiao Diyuan saw that the things that should be discussed were finished, so he got up and retreated.

Although Xiao Hong has allowed Xiao Dikai and Xiao Diyuan to go to the early court since last year, Xiao Diyuan's performance in the court is far less positive than Xiao Dikai's, so Xiao Dikai soon won the support of a large number of ministers.

Xiao Di is the national prince, but anyone who has a little eye will give him some face. As for Xiao Diyuan, although people admire his talent, they also know that he is not the one who can hold the supreme imperial power in the future, so their attitude towards him is much colder.

Now that the crown prince Xiao Dikai's performance in the court is getting better and better day by day, these ministers can't wait to pat themselves on the back.

Xiao Hong saw all this in his eyes, but his face was silent, but since the second half of last year, Xiao Hong began to ask Xiao Di to help review and participate in the conference of important national affairs.

Seeing his brother busy every day, the strange thing is that Xiao Diyuan is not jealous, and even has a faint worry, worried that this prince brother will make some jokes one day.

After dinner that day, Xiao Diyuan wrote back to the Empress Dowager of Zhaoguo and Jiang Yuetang, saying that he would go to Zhaoguo to meet them in April.

March is the month when Jiang Yuetang participates in the skipping assessment, and if he goes at that time, it will definitely affect her studies, so he simply postponed it to April.

Five days later, Xiao Diyuan's letter was secretly delivered to Jiang Yuetang.

This day is the Lantern Festival, and there is a festive atmosphere in Jiangfu.

It was Mei Xiang who got the letter first, and immediately came to the living room to find Jiang Yuetang after getting it.

It was after lunch, and the Jiang family used to sit and chat in the living room for a while, and then they would go back to their rooms to take a nap.

Because it is the Lantern Festival, Jiang Chuanxiong came back early in the morning this day, and he was talking to everyone about the Lantern Festival in the palace at this time.

Mei Xiang winked at Jiang Yuetang.

Jiang Yuetang understood a few points at a glance, and immediately left the living room.

Mei Xiang followed closely, and it wasn't until she entered Jiang Yuetang's room that she handed Xiao Diyuan's letter to her.

Seeing that it was Xiao Diyuan's handwriting, Jiang Yuetang immediately unfolded it to see.

She was overjoyed to learn that he had set the date for April. At that time, she happened to have completed the skipping assessment, so she could have the time and energy to receive him well.

Seeing her smile knowingly, Mei Xiang asked quietly, "Is His Royal Highness the Second Dawn Kingdom asking you out?"

"No," Jiang Yuetang looked at the door vigilantly, lowered his voice and said, "He will come in April." ”

Mei Xiang was surprised: "He wants to come to Zhaoguo?"

"Uh-huh. ”

"Did I come here on business or just to see you?"

"I don't know, you must not leak the news. ”

"The slave knows. ”

While she was talking, Zhen Huiyuan's voice came from outside, and Jiang Yuetang hurriedly hid the letter in her pocket.

Zhen Huiyuan came in slowly, looked at Jiang Yuetang while sitting down, and said, "Why don't you stop?"

Jiang Yuetang poured tea for her and said with a smile: "The child is not sleepy. ”

Zhen Huiyuan took a sip of tea and asked, "The eighth day of the second month is the day when your teacher Shangguan gets married, what gift do you plan to give him?"

"The child is going to give them a couple of jade carvings. ”

This is what Jiang Yuetang has thought about a long time ago.

"What are you going to carve?" asked Zhen Huiyuan again.

There are many things that express couples, such as phoenixes, mandarin ducks, and Tilian.

"I carved Teacher Shangguan and Sister Cheng, and the child had handed over their portraits to the carver. ”

Zhen Huiyuan listened and praised: "You are thoughtful, then let's do it, when the pair of jade carvings is delivered, you will let the carving master come to me to settle the bill." ”

"Okay, thank you, mother!"

Zhen Huiyuan looked at the books spread out on her desktop and said, "Let's take a lunch break first, so as to save yourself from being energetic in the afternoon." By the way, don't lie down and read, carefully look at your eyes. ”

"Yes. ”

Zhen Huiyuan smiled and got up to leave.

The next evening, the jade carving master sent the carved jade carvings of the lovers.

Everyone looked, good fellow, carved really like it!

So Zhen Huiyuan paid happily and rewarded him with another three cents.
